Groundball guys just profile that way. From time to time, contact on the ground will stack up against a pitcher, with a bunch of consecutive balls finding open grass. I’m pretty bullish on Dobnak now. He’s not a guy you really want out there to win ONE game because he allows so much contact, but he can have immense value going out there every fifth day over a full season. -
Dobnak is dealing.
-
So good.
-
It qualifies as a plate appearance, not an at bat.
-
I edited my post, maybe you missed it. Silva, 48% groundball rate. Dobnak, 58% groundball rate.
-
Damn, Donaldson. That catch is so hard to make.
-
Dobnak is better because he’s considerably better at keeping the ball on the ground. Silva had a 48% GB rate, Dobnak has a 58% GB rate.

Fun fact: Miguel Cabrera is still guaranteed $94m after this season.

Kepler to IL, Rooker promoted

He’s probably slated for game two. -

I suspect the front office is more hesitant to start the option clock on Kirilloff due to age and the fact they haven’t seen him in real game action for a year now. Rooker is older and less of a prospect so they’re probably more willing to just give him a shot. -
Per a few sources. Bad for the team as a whole but pretty excited to see Rooker.

A big reason the bullpen has been so effective is *because* Baldelli hasn’t been a slave to dedicating relievers based on the inning (which doesn’t make sense when you think about it) but instead using relievers based on favorable matchup. If it’s the 8th inning and three lefties are coming up, using Romo is a good way to lose baseball games. If it’s the 9th inning and three righties are coming up, Rogers is not your best pitcher in that situation. What Baldelli is doing makes a ton of sense and the bullpen performs better because of it.

A humorous take given that the White Sox spent the series playing Clown Car Baseball.
-
If Dobnak wins tomorrow, he’ll be tied with Bieber for AL win leader with 6 wins.
-
Pineda is signed through 2021. It's part of the deal the team received by signing someone who was suspended.
-
Maeda, Berrios, and whoever else looks good at the end of September.
-
Clevenger made a ton of sense, as he's controlled beyond this season. Which is reportedly what the Twins were also pursuing, which makes sense... it just didn't work out for the Twins and I'm pretty okay with that, really. I think this offseason is going to be primed to pick up whatever your team needs on the relative cheap. There are going to be some financially-strapped teams that simply won't be playing in the market as they normally do. I hope the Twins aren't one of those teams and given their (lack of) financial commitments, I suspect they'll be players this offseason.

It’s well known that I am not a fan of Blyleven the analyst but still, he was a part of the fabric of this team for my entire adult life. In many ways, he’ll be missed.
-
On top of this being a bizarre year, tbe Twins are a team that can improve but has no glaring weakness if the roster is healthy. And, until last night, it looked like the roster was on its way to health. While there’s no predicting injury, I still feel they missed a bit by not acquiring a RH corner outfielder, even moreso now that Kepler is down. Then again, they could just call up Rooker. Please call up Rooker.
-
Well, at least the ump is consistently bad.
-
Think the team missed Buxton and Donaldson much?
-
Cave seems to be heating up.
-
The White Sox are a sloppy defensive team.
-
He claimed it was nothing last night and it looked like soft contact, not Buxton’s usual careening upside down head first while sprinting at 30 mph.

Okay, this is hilarious. Well done.
